How often to change oil? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I agree. 3000-5000 miles is about the longest I recommend going with the oil changes. Porsche's recommendations are just too long.

My last change, I switched from Mobil 1 to Castrol Edge 5w40 to see if it would reduce the "chatter" at startup. What's this "Redline" stuff? I'd like to get rid of the cold start chatter (ticking sound) at startup.
